A regular polygon is drawn in a circle so that each vertex is on the circle and is connected to the center by a radius. Each of the central angles has a measure of 40°. How many sides does the polygon have?

9

90 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the circle has a center at  A and B and C are at the vertices of a polygon. Since this figure is inscribed in a circle, we can draw two radii through the vertices. Because all radii are congruent, we know segment BA is congruent to Segment CA. If a triangle has at least 2 congruent sides, we can identify the triangle as an isosceles triangle. With this we can conclude <ACB is congruent to <ABC. By the definition of congruent angles, m<ACB = M<ABC. Let's say m<ACB = x. By the Triangle Sum Theorem, 40 + x + m<ABC = 180. By substitution, 40 + x + x = 180. When we solve we get x =70. Since radii bisect interior angles we know that each interior angle of this polygon is 140 degrees. If we plug in 140 to our equation,  where n is the number of sides, we get n = 90. So we can conclude this polygon has 90 sides

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
